Ian Johns Eliminated in 17th Place ($20,274)

Carlos Mortensen raised from the hijack only to have Ian Johns, who won a bracelet back in 2006 in Event #23 $3,000 Limit Hold'em for $291,755, three-bet from the cutoff. Mortensen made the call and then bet out on the {K-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop, Johns raised a little more to put himself all in and Mortensen made the call.

Johns: {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Mortensen: {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Johns' ace was technically the best hand, but Mortensen had a bevy of outs. The {9-Hearts} turn was one of them, giving the 2001 Main Event Champion a pair of nines. Johns was left looking for a non-diamond ace or jack on the river. The dealer burned and put out an ace, but it was the {A-Diamonds}. Mortensen hit his flush to eliminate Johns in 17th place.

This marked Johns' fourth limit-hold'em cash, and fifth WSOP cash overall. He took home $20,274 for his efforts.
